I have 4 New Hampshire Red chickens that are 13 1/2 weeks old. I'm pretty sure that 3 are pullets; however, 1 is a bit more developed in the comb and wattles and they are a deeper rose than the other 3. All of their legs and bodies are about the same size, except the one in question has much darker tail feathers. I don't see any pointed saddle feathers on any, but I am a novice here... Any suggestions here? Thanks for all of your help.

Pic #1 is two of the NHR with the possible roo on the right.

Pic #2 is a closeup of this possible roo taking a dust bath.

Pic #3 is a picture of 2 of the others I think are pullets.

Thanks again!

I don't know, Pic #2 looks like a roo to me. Thats might just be me though. The rest I would say are pullets

Pullets. My roo, now at nine weeks has a comb three times the size of #2.

Great! Thanks for the help. It's so hard to tell 1st time out and "#2" sometimes makes noises like a b flat car horn! She's also a lil more bossy than the others. But since I didn't see any obvious differences in legs or size, I figured she was probably a girl. Thanks again!

It look to me to be all hens...
But what color are the legs in pic 1 they look almost green.
New Hamps should have yellow leg.

I think pullets too.. the points on that comb are teeny tiny!
She will probably be the one to lay the first egg!
